Name meaning and origin
In Arabic, the word qadir means the one who has power over all things, who fulfills what he wishes as he wishes; the name Al-Qadir in Asma ul-Husna attributes this power directly to God. Abdulqadir is formed by adding the word əbd, meaning slave, before this attribute, and carries the meaning of the slave of God, the Almighty. The name reminds its bearer of trust and obedience to the fact that God has power over all things.
In history, the person who made this name most famous is Sheikh Abd al-Qadir Gilani (1078-1166), founder of the Qadiriyya order; he led an ascetic life in Baghdad for many years, and the order associated with his name spread throughout the Muslim world. Today in Azerbaijan, Abdulqadir is one of those names that is relatively rarely encountered but held in respect among religious families, and there is no Islamic obstacle to bearing it.
